For one, if anyone perceived me to be experiencing a temper problem, I apologize. It was my intent to only be exacting. Sometimes that comes = off as a very holy sermon from an extremely tall soap box and that's too bad as = I don't own a soap box at all and the church to which I used to belong threatened to burn me at the stake while being prodded by pitchforks. = That was their polite way of asking me to leave. But more specific to your needs, could you remind me which version of LookOut you're using? I ask because the only version in which you can't control this behavior is Outlook 2000 if you're running standalone. In Outlook XP, you don't absolutely have to have a third party utility = because the behavior is easily controlled through Outlook's registry settings. Remind this old man which version you've got and I'll pass the registry location and values along if you'd like. Oh, and, from where I sit, this place would be really, really boring if there were never an opportunity to explore an opinion or two.=20 So thanks, troublemaker!!<g> Greg Chapman http://www.mousetrax.com=20 "Counting in binary is as easy as 01, 10, 11!
